Chapter 51: Joy of Training a Young Boy

Two tiny fire elementals appeared at Neymar’s side, both half her size and fiercely guarding her from the Poisoners approaching.

Neymar wanted to draw cards and was shocked to find only two left, one of which was a Zero-star card.

The Poisoners’ claws were almost reaching her face.

Neymar was alarmed and backed away from the battle mode.

In a panic, she grabbed the Zero-star Card and instinctively took a step back.

Unfortunately, Neymar had already run out of room to retreat and, stepping on air, she fell backwards.

This was the location where the elevator door blown open by Karoso, and Neymar could directly drop to the One layer.

Neymar failed to cast the spell.

Just as Neymar was falling rapidly in the air, a flame passage suddenly appeared.

Boom!

Several Poisoners hit directly on the wall of the elevator space.

Suddenly, Karoso’s figure appeared in the elevator space. He used his feet to push off the wall and dove downwards.

Whoosh!

Before Neymar could land, Karoso swept her up in his arms.

"Brother?"

Ignoring Neymar, Karoso used his feet to push off the walls on both sides of the elevator space, pausing briefly before shooting back up.

"Roar!"

A Poisoner roared from above and charged down, but Karoso calmly swung his flameblade in the air, not letting any Poisoner survive next to him.

Karoso returned above and said coldly, "How long are you going to stand there in a daze?"

Neymar snapped back to reality and quickly threw out a card, chilling frost spreading forward from Neymar.

Buzz!

Click clack…

Each Poisoner in front of her froze, including the fire element beside her.

Karoso made another horizontal slash, freezing Poisoners were all cut in half.

"Brother, I…" Neymar this time didn’t focus on Karoso holding her hand, but lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Neymar, review today’s battle thoroughly after you go out, with your skills, you can easily delay another thirty seconds or even a minute." Karoso let go of Neymar, "You have ten minutes to meditate."

"Hmm…" Neymar quickly sat down on the ground, trying to meditate.

[Oh no, Master Karoso is in serious mode.]

[Master Karoso, this time is too dangerous. Next time, let us know the pros and cons. If we had known it was so scary, we wouldn’t have let you print on the spot.]

[Wait, if Master Karoso knew it was dangerous, couldn’t it have been avoided? After Master Karoso and Neymar and the other Poisoners come out, if they clean up the Poisoners together, and then print the cards, wouldn’t all the dangers be gone?]

"You’re right," Karoso said softly, "When Neymar opened the first incubator, I knew the approximate strength of these Poisoners. With Neymar’s abilities, she could completely hold them off."

[You didn’t understand what I meant, I meant you all clean up together…]

[Perhaps to save time? Raiding dungeons is always a race against time.]

[We don’t have that much time, do we?]

"This is a trial," Karoso said firmly, "From my perspective, she should be able to pass this trial."

"When I was nine years old, it was the last time I didn’t complete the task on time and was rescued by someone."

"By the time I turned ten, if I failed, I would die in the dungeon, and no one would care about me."

"Neymar is a girl, so I gave her an extra two years. She hasn’t gone through the full training of the Colloa family yet, so I will give her two more years."

"This time, it was already an exception to take action."

[Do girls have to be treated so strictly too?]

"Girls?" Karoso shook his head. "I mentioned I had a sister who died in the dungeon when she was thirteen."

[Wow, what kind of monsters does this family upbringing create?]

[Didn’t Master Karoso show us in the later stages?]

[Is this Grand Duke Colloa too harsh?]

"How do you think my father’s arm got hurt?" Karoso raised an eyebrow.

[Um… I don’t think we can change this with just a few words, we need to guide Master Karoso a bit.]

[Yes, Master Karoso is already used to this pattern.]

[We can’t compare anyone to Master Karoso, even people of the same age fail in comparison.]

[Where is Teresa?]

[Didn’t you see Teresa trying to protect Master Karoso? I think they can understand each other well.]

"Brother, I’m feeling better now," Neymar stood up at this moment.

"You can rest for another seven minutes."

"Even after resting for seven more minutes, my magic won’t increase much…" Neymar looked down. "I can use my last card now."

[Oh no, seeing Neymar like this breaks my heart.]

[Master Karoso, don’t you feel sad too?]

[Even if Master Karoso is sad, he won’t show it.]

[So, Master Karoso, why don’t you cheer up Neymar first.]

[This is the reward we want!]

Karoso blinked and then walked straight to Neymar, placing his big hand on her head.

Neymar was surprised.

Then, both of them fell silent.

Karoso tilted his head.

What should I do at this time?

Luckily, the bullet comments came to the rescue at this moment.

"Neymar, if I’m not on time this time, I might lose you," Karoso softly said. "Please don’t blame me for being strict, okay?"

Snap!

Neymar hugged Karoso tightly and nodded vigorously.

While glancing at the bullet comments, Karoso gently patted Neymar’s back, "Alright, let’s go and do what we need to do first."

"Okay!"

……

In less than three minutes, Karoso and Neymar adjusted themselves and arrived at the entrance of the laboratory.

Neymar took a deep breath and read a few characters.

Click, click…

The hard bronze door slowly opened to the sides, revealing a long corridor.

Karoso, holding a flameblade, walked ahead, while Neymar obediently followed behind him.

Along the corridor, there were Poisoners on both sides, with deeper colors and vines at the bottom of their jars that seemed alive, occasionally moving.

All the vines pointed towards the innermost part of the corridor, creating a eerie feeling.

There were some nearly burnt-out oil lamps on both sides of the corridor. As Karoso and Neymar passed by, they flickered like dying candles in the wind.

Neymar tightly gripped her magic wand, feeling more pressure as they walked on.

She sneakily glanced at Karoso’s back. Although Karoso was still thin and weak, his back was always so upright, giving Neymar the feeling of facing a towering mountain.

Neymar took a deep breath and quietly grabbed Karoso’s sleeve.

Karoso paused for a moment, this time he didn’t speak, but kept moving forward.

A small smile appeared on Neymar’s lips.
